Justice Musa Kakaki of the Federal High Court, Ikoyi, Lagos, on Monday, September 15, 2025, dismissed an application filed by Aminah Momoh-Orimoloye, a UK-based businesswoman, seeking her release from the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Momoh-Orimoloye, who also serves as the coordinator of the Economic Empowerment of Women and Youth in Livestock Agriculture (EEWYLA), was arrested on August 5, 2025, after a petition accused her of conspiracy and diversion of funds.
Investigations revealed that Salihu Mohammed allegedly received ₦1.663 billion for a foreign exchange transaction, but only ₦1.163 billion could be traced. Further findings reportedly showed that Momoh-Orimoloye, Mohammed, Auwal Ali, and others still at large, conspired to divert ₦500 million.
The Court ruled that her continued detention by the EFCC was lawful pending the conclusion of investigations and possible prosecution.
